| 10 days of nice Latvian winter |
On my 30th birthday, my wife gave me two and a half tickets to go to Latvia. 12 years ago I spent a year in Riga with crazy exchange students, proud Latvians and the soviet past. I went back the year after to visit my second hostfamily and Elina, a friend I 've stayed in touch with and who loves to come to Belgium at Easter time. It was great to go back now and discover how new shops hadn't made the place uglier, how the cream is still deliciously natural and how beautiful the art nouveau architecture is, however, life has become a lot more expensive. I turned up at my hostfamily's doorstep and they still knew me :) My hostbrother and sister both have a baby about Mira's age. Well, the rest are pictures and stories if you are interested.
